At that point I said nothing and ended our communication. I also had someone try to renegotiate a deal after I said I would buy it, he messaged me saying someone else was interested and told me I needed to make a new offer. I said let the other buyer have it, a week later he messaged saying the other buyer backed out and I could have it for my original offer. Again keep the bike.

Still you would be shocked what I've bought on offer up and very very reasonably at that .
If it's not nearby, I don't bother with it anymore. Saves me from the first type of seller.

As for the type of person who isn't willing to stand by their word, this little story ought to help: https://bit.ly/2J5CQ7X
